Installing 2nd hand LPG system

[timberwolf_302]

Can someone point me in the direction of where to find particular information on installing LPG to a Carbied Rangie (ie where to cut holes for pipes, where to run pipes, tuning, etc)?

What type of system are you installing ? impco or to suit the twin carbs ?

[timberwolf_302]

Twin carbs.

Whats impco?

Ok, so have you mounted any of the hardware yet ? one of the trickiest bits i found was the coolant hoses to the converter, i ran mine from the end of the manifold thru the converter and into the heater ie no T pieces and extra hoses. Use flexible lpg hose and run it on the top edge of the chassis up the inner gaurd to the converter. I have pics at home i can email you if you like or even come at look at my rangie.

Regards,
Nick.

The pics would be great, thankyou: slys@bigpond.com

I havn't yet attempted to fit anything yet, but might have a crack at it tomorrow. I'm just worried about getting something seriously wrong...

Its not hard, worst you can do is have some gas leaks , will the tank be in the boot or under floor ?

Don't forget the converter want's to be low. That was passed on to me by one of the installers helps if you are having cooling problems. Their advice was keep it lower than the top of the radiator. The rest of it isn't to hard just look at similar setups and match

The tank will be in the cargo space, behind the back seat.

Thanks for all the info guys. I'll have a good crack at it.

Easierst place to mount a converter is on the lh inner guard just in front of the washer bottle, low is better but i have mounted mine in the same place on 2 rangies without any probs.
